"Maggie, what do we do?" I yell.

"Just fire! Just shoot!" She yells back.

The fences start to lean in and I shoot anything that moves. The dead walkers begin piling up on it, not helping any.

"It's not working!"

"I can see that!"

I look over at Maggie and I can tell she has no idea what to do.

"We'll draw them away. Carl, get a gun! You start firing from over there, I'll move this way, Maggie stay here and fire at anything that gets too close to the top of the fence. But whatever you do, do not let it break."

Carl, who has joined us with a gun, runs over to the other side. I do the same, just opposite direction, and draw the walkers away. Carol soon joins me.

"Where's Judith?"

"Inside with Beth."

"Good. I sure hope the guys get back soon. What about Hershel?"

"He wanted to come out, but I told him to stay with Beth. It's just us, Taylor."

The way she says that its just us, tells me that she's thinking what I'm thinking. This isn't going to down good.

"We need to draw them away from the fences!" I shout over the frantic firing.

Suddenly an idea pops into my head. A crazy idea. Suicide actually.

"How many cars do we have left?" I ask Carol, stopping to load the gun again.

"The SUV and Daryl's motorcycle." She responds, doing the same.

The motorcycle will work perfectly. And I know where he keeps the keys. Without saying another word, I run off, my gun still in my hands.

"Where are you going?" Carol shouts.

I keep running, not bothering to respond. I run inside, noticing Hershel and Beth inside a cell.

"What's wrong?" Hershel asks.

I ignore him too, running upstairs. Frantic, I search the drawers of the nightstand.

"Where the hell are they?" I yell, knocking over a drawer, spilling the contents.

I look down and notice something shiny on the ground mixed in with all the stuff. The keys! I pick them up, hurriedly, and run downstairs again. I run outside to were Daryl's motorcycle is parked. I've ridden once twice. One time I was drunk, so I'm hoping I don't end up crashing or anything. Then my entire plan would be ruined.

"Carol, open up the gate!" I scream at her.

She gives me a questioning look, but runs to open it up anyway. I hear Maggie shout and notice that a walker has gotten over the fence. Shit! We're running out of time!

I start the engine to the motorcycle and drive it towards the gate. Carol stands there, with it unlocked and ready to open. She slides it open enough for me to slip through and I do. I drive out, towards the group of walkers. Some start to notice me and turn around, not enough though.

"Hey! Over here!" I shout at them.

Still, barely any turn around. Just three or four.

"Look over here dammit! Come over here!" I scream again.

More turn around and some start walking over. It's still not enough. I rev the engine, hoping to attract more. Thankfully, it works, enabling Carl and Maggie to shoot the walkers on the fence and stabilize it. While they work on that, I keep working on distracting the walkers.
